For survivors. For those who know survivors and would like to have a better understanding. For anyone who wants a peek at what it's like to seek justice in our current legal system. Not an easy read, but necessary and moving one.

Fantastic book but I couldn’t handle it. I have a lot of healing to do before I can try to read this one again.

I appreciated the book/story. And I prefer non-fiction books (especially memoire's) to be read by the author. However, Chanel was not a good reader. Her monotone delivery "flattened" the story. If I had to do it over again, I would read a print edition.

Masterpiece. Instant classic. Gut punch. What to say about this incredible book? Miller doesn't just draw back the curtain on women's need for constant vigilance and gender violence, she burns it. Her story, searing, honest, and fierce, blazes with pain, light, healing, and tenacity. I have never been spoken to so clearly, touched so deeply, and I've certainly never sobbed so hard with grief. This is a lament and a rocky path out of darkness. Miller's writing is clear, gorgeous, expressive, and incredibly well-crafted. Really a life-changing book.

It's not fun to read about rape and a volition of one's body, but it's important to understand the power of a victim standing up to her betrayer.
